Hylafax++ is one of those *extremely* stable, robust packages that has needed very few architectural updates in its lifetime. It is used commercially, at last check, by the Efax company. It was originally written by Sam Leffler, the inventor of TIFF and one of the authors of the original BSD: I'm one of the first people to package it as an RPM, and wrote the first public ports to Linux and to SunOS. The maintainers probably hadn't kept track of the ghostscript-fonts becoming obsolete in Fedora, because it "just worked(tm)". I can try to reach out to the current maintainers. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
